HC Deb 22 June 1892 vol 5 cc1750-1
MR. DARLING (Deptford)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture a question of which I have given him private notice: whether he thinks it is now possible to relax the restrictions placed upon the removal of cattle to and from the Metropolitan Cattle Markets?

THE PRESIDENT OF THF BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. CHAPLIN,) Lincolnshire, Sleaford

In answer to my hon. Friend, I have to say that I think the time has come when the propriety of relaxing the regulations imposed on the movement of cattle in the Metropolis may be considered, and I hope in a few days to be able to announce some relaxation of the present restrictions.
